Maingear fits 3-way GTX Titan graphics into (un-priced) gaming PC

If you're a high-end gaming PC manufacturer, why not just time your desktop launches for when the latest pixel-blasting GPUs come out? That's exactly how Maingear rolls, so it's just announced three new machines based on NVIDIA's freshly launched GeForce GTX Titan. The new flagship graphics card borrows its name (and some of its tech) from the Kepler-based Titan supercomputer and packs 2,688 CUDA cores and 7.1 billion transistors, along with 6GB of GDDR5 RAM and a 384-bit interface. That lends it 4,500 Gigaflops of horsepower, displacing the company's GTX 690 model at the top while letting modders overclock and overvolt the cards with "higher limits than ever," according to NVIDIA.

Maingear will ship three units armed with the Titan: the SHIFT, which will be available in dual or three-way GTX Titan configurations, the F131 with one or two cards and the single-card only Potenza. All feature a 90 degree rotated motherboard design to vent hot air out the top for better cooling, along with with AMD or Intel processors up to the Core i7-3960X six-core model, SATA 6G, USB 3.0 and up to 64GB of RAM. You'll also get 4K max resolution on four simultaneous displays, thanks to two dual-link DVI, HDMI and Display Port 1.2 connectors. There's no word yet on pricing, but for a three-way SLI SHIFT PC? Think big.

Available in single, dual or 3-way SLI in the SHIFT or single and dual configurations in the F131 or single card in the Potenza, all of these systems utilize the unique chassis design where the motherboard is rotated 90 degrees to exhaust hot air out the top of the chassis. The cool air is easily brought in from the bottom, making for a quieter, more reliable, and simply better performing PC. The combination of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN graphics in MAINGEAR desktops offers a superior combination of power, performance, efficiency, control, and acoustics that PC gamers need for premium PC gaming.
